Now you are starting to get my point...you are exactly correct....most hitters are off balance. But its because of the way they are taught. But if every one casts the bat to hit the , some will cast it and get better results than others.

Timing is a big factor in hitting, but what moves when the ball is on the tee. Just the batter, and they are still off balance. because that is the way they are taught. I have measured about 1000 hitters that are not off balance, and they have the best overall swings. but technique is not the only factor.
